On July 6 2015, a Norfolk Southern Railroad Office Car Special departed Chicago IL bound for Morrisville PA. Two days later, it finally made it to the Philadelphia area, crossing over from Harrisburg Line to the Morrisville Line via SEPTA Norristown Line and NS Morrisville Connecting Track, here is NS 952 on the latter two, snaking through CP Ford. |

At CP Ford, SEPTA ran them right along. Two years earlier, NS ran a similar train (sans dome car) under wires along the Amtrak NEC in much sunnier conditions. SEPTA cleared this section of the Norristown Line for double stacks, which allows the dome to make the trip. |
